by Oliver Goldsmith

A Comedy.

To Samuel Johnson, LL.D.

Dear Sir,--By inscribing this slight performance to you, I do not mean so much to compliment you as myself.

The undertaking a comedy not merely sentimental was very dangerous; and Mr. Colman, who saw this piece in its various stages, always thought it so. However, I ventured to trust it to the public; and, though it was necessarily delayed till late in the season, I have every reason to be grateful.

I am, dear Sir, your most sincere friend and admirer,
